Man's tears

I've been holding back from crying
because of the stereotype;stigma
I've been so afraid,fear to cry
I feel myself slipping into depression
holding back all this tears in my eyes

dont tell me to be a man when Im still a little boy
teach me how to be a man
dont treat me like Im grown
am absolute by gender
and as I grow and mature,thats how I'll end up

they make' being a man' seem like an organisation that requires compulsory participation for you to become a member
A'Dont cry' stipulation,unless...
only in rainy weather

only a cold blooded creature would'nt shed a tear
Im'ma cry like a warm blooded mammal for you to hear
you wont let those tears interfere....
when they fall
but when you're done crying
you can wipe them off
